Get to Any Machine on the Network

Connect to any computer without knowing any network detail

With NoMachine you can reach any computer by using its IP address, but if the machine isn't reachable because it's behind a NAT, firewall or on a private network, NoMachine Network provides the way to access it. The Network service is the the way to reach those machines you wouldn't ever be able to reach using their IP. Getting started is easy: simply add the computer to NoMachine Network to generate its Machine Id. The Machine Id is just like a static IP address, it is unique across the whole Internet and never changes, unless you want to change it. There is no limit on the number of machines you can publish and adding a new machine always comes at no cost. Anybody can connect to a computer by Machine Id, as long as they know the Id. To reach a machine using its Machine Id, you need an active Network subscription. Licensing couldn’t be simpler: just choose the subscription that provides the number of concurrent Network connections you need, with no limits whatsoever on the number of different machines you can access. You can get started by activating a free 7-day NoMachine Network evaluation from your account. If you decide to purchase, Network subscriptions are as cheap as $8.50 per month for one connection at any given time. Enjoy the freedom to connect to any desktop, work on any project and access your your own computer wherever you are.

Get a Machine Id

A Machine Id is the NoMachine Network equivalent of an Internet IP. By adding your computer to NoMachine Network, you get a unique Machine Id that identifies your computer wherever it is, making it possible for you to reach it wherever you are. Adding your machine to Network is easy, no need to know the IP address and no need to set up any firewall rule to traverse your home or corporate network.

Is a Machine Id secure?

As we said, any machine added to Network is added using a Machine Id and not identifiable with personal names or physical IP addresses. To connect to a computer, you must know its exact Machine Id. If you're missing it or if nobody told you what the Machine Id is, getting access to that computer will be impossible.

Use an Access Id for extra security

Together with the Machine Id, a Network computer can also have an Access Id. The Access Id is used to protect the target machine so that only users to whom you gave the Access Id can connect. You can also omit the Access Id, since to login, as with all the remote access systems, the user will still have to insert valid system credentials.

Publish unlimited computers to Network

There are no limits on how many computers you add to NoMachine Network. Publishing a personal or corporate machine is easy to set up and doesn't require having an account or a Network subscription. Go to Network settings in the NoMachine Player of the target machine, click 'Add' and that's it.

Add any Network computer to your Machines

Network machines can be added to your Machines panel using their Machine Id, in the same way as you add any computer using its IP address. Once you have added the machine to your roster, you will be able to see if the machine is online or not. If you see it online, you can connect. To see it, the machine’s owner must have made it available to you when it was published on Network.

You decide what you publish

NoMachine gives you complete control over which systems are accessible from the internet. Unlike solutions that automatically expose devices, NoMachine never makes a computer visible or reachable online by default. Machines remain private unless explicitly published to NoMachine Network, allowing organizations to enable secure internet access only for the systems they choose.

Login with your NoMachine account

To be able to see your Network machines and connect, you must be logged in as a NoMachine user in the player. The e-mail address you use when you create a NoMachine account becomes your User Id. Once you have your User Id, you can login with it across all the devices you want to connect from.

Try for yourself

Connecting over Machine Id requires a NoMachine Network subscription. You can activate a free 7-day trial from your account, then login with your User Id on any NoMachine client device and connect to the machine using its Machine Id. After the trial, choose a Network subscription based on the number of concurrent Network connections you need.

No fuss connections-based model

The NoMachine Network licensing model is as easy as it comes. The most simple model available on the market. Network Subscriptions are based on the number of concurrent Network connections you run from your device. The more concurrent connections you want to run, the more connections you need in your subscription.

Now also with terminal access in version 10

Need programming or need the command line? Connect to any machine available on NoMachine Network using a secure remote terminal. Use the Machine Id to get full shell access to any macOS, Linux, or Windows system. No desktop session needed.

Add a further layer of protection with 2FA

NoMachine’s two-factor authentication is an additional defense against unwanted access. Create your account, download the NoMachine app for your mobile device, receive the push notifications. 2FA can be requested to protect your NoMachine logins as well as to approve incoming connections, including connections over IP.

Organize your Network users and machines

The User and Machine books let you store the Machine Ids and the Network users you interact with most and they follow you across your devices. Have a machine you access frequently? Save it in your Machine book, so you can find it when you connect from a new device. Got a user connecting to your machine? Save the contact in your User book, so the next time you know who is connecting.

Also works with any service

NoMachine Network isn't limited to remote desktop, it can also work with any internet service running on your machine. This can be a mail server, a media server, a NAS, a Web app, or any other service you'd normally need to securely expose to the internet. Just add your machine to Network, configure port forwarding for the service you need and you are done.

What Network Subscription Is Best for Me?

Get to your computers anywhere

NoMachine Network Subscriptions are available to all NoMachine users that want a secure and simple way to reach their remote computer anywhere over the Internet. Subscriptions can be monthly or annual and enable access to any computer where there is a Personal Edition or a NoMachine Enterprise installed, even if they are located behind a firewall or inside a private network. Add a Network Subscription to any existing NoMachine software subscription to get easy access to your computer. It couldn't be simpler than that.
